The iianges 19 atthe 85 Fig. 4 isa perspective view or" a re-enforcends of the bodyportion 18 are shorter than ing member which forms part of the imthe intermediate flanges 19. The purpose proved pan, the re-enforcing member being of this construction will presentlyappear. shown in connection with a strut member The flanges 19 are thinner than the body porwhich entends between adjacent pans of the tion 18 and are provided with notches 20 90 series. v j f adapted toreceive flaring tongues 21 pro'-k Fig. 5 is a perspective view of one of the vided upc-n resenforcing members 22 which end straps provided in thevimproved pan, the extend between the end straps 12.' The ends endstrap being shown as it appears before of the flanges 19 are provided with inwardly if it is assembled with the pan. extending lugs 20a, the intermediate flanges 9 Fig. 6 is a' perspective view of one of a 19 being provided with two of these lugs and pair of re-enforcing wires which ormparts each of the end flanges 19 being provided of the improved construction. Y with a single lug of this character. Y

Fig. 7 is an enlarged section taken on line Each of the're-enforcingmembers comy '7e-7 of Fig.- 1. prises a body portion25 having lugs 26 bentwo pair of flaring tongues 29 provided on each of a plurality of strut members 30 extending between adjacent pans. It will be noted that the flaring tongues 21 are formed upon the lugs 26 and that they are thinner than the body portion 25. t. The outer side rim of each of the end pans 10 is provided with a Wired edge 32 Which extends around on the ends of these pans. r For this purpose, U-shaped" re-enfo'rcing' wires 33 are provided, Which Wires rest against 'the outersurfaces of the protector plates 13 (see Fig.` 7). p

Figs. 11 and 12 show the end straps 12, the re-enforcing members 22 and the strut mem-` bers 30 as they appear assembled before the pans 10 and 11 have been secured thereto. It will be noted that the daring tongues 21 of the re-enfo-rcing members l22 are Vseated in the notches 2O of theV end straps 12 and that the flaring tongues 29 of the'strut members 30 are seated in the notch'es 28- of there-enforcingmembers 22. The flanges 19 and 27 and the flaring tongues 21 and 29 project -upwardly and form continuous rims for each of the intermediate pans 11 and form rims for the inner side edges andportions of the end edges of the Vend pans 10,the outer side edgesfof v the end pans and portions of the end rims of these pans being U-shaped Wires.`

The flanges 19 and 27 and the flaring VWired by ,means o f the tongues 21 and 29 are rolled into flanges 88` provided at theupper edges of the pans 10 and 11 (see Figs. 3,8, 9 and 10), the flanges 38 along theupper edges of tbe` outer side surfaces of the end pans 10 being rolled around the U-shaped Wires 33 (see Fig. 7).

It Will be noted that the intermediate pans 11 are provided WithtWo re-enforcing lmembers extending along the side edges thereof, the re-enforcing members having lugs Which .engage the ends of thepans.. These re-enforcing members are carried bythe pans and are not secured to the'end straps, the function of the re-enforcing members being to vprevent elongation orV crushing ofthe pans longitudinally thereof.k Each of the end pans 10V is provided with a Vre-enforcingl v.member alongkits inner-side surfaces, the

outer side surfaces'being re-enforced by the U-shapedvvires as Well as bythe protector plates. .The strut members are carried by Vthe pans themselves andare not secured to the re-enforcing members.

While I have shown and described certain embodiments of my invention, it is-'to be understood thatit is capable of many modi'- fcations. Changes, therefore, in the con-v r struction and arrangement. may be made -rolled'in the rims of said pans, and strut members intermediate the pans, said strut members'having their ends rolled in the rims of the pans. ,l v j 2. device of the,` kind described comprising a series of pans having'rolled rims, end straps disposed along the ends ofthe pans and .provided With notched flanges Vrolled in the end rims of said pans', said flanges being'provided With tongues rolled inthe rims of the corners of the intermediate pans, and re-enforcing members having flanges rolled in the side rims of the Vintermediate pans and provided With tongues rolled inthe end rims of the pans, said tongueson said ref enforcing members being disposed in the notches in said flanges in said end straps.

3. AV device of the kind described comprising a series of pans having'rolled rims, end straps disposed alongthe ends of the pans and Aprovided with notched flanges rolled in the end rims of said pans, said anges being provided with tongues rolled in the vrims of the corners of the intermediate pans, re-enforcing members having flanges rolled in the side rims of the intermediate pans and provided With tongues rolled in the end rims of the pans, said tongues on said reenforcing members being disposed in the notches in said flanges in said end straps, and strut members disposed, intermediate .the pans and havingtheir` ends rolled in the Vside rims of the pans. l

4. A device of the kind described comprising a series of pans havingl rolled rims, end straps disposed along the ends of the pans and provided With flanges rolled infsaid rims of said pans, re-enforcing members eX- tending. along the entire side edges of the intermediate pans andprovided withv notched llangesrolled in the side rims of said interimedate pans, andstrut members having their ends disposedA in the notches in said reenforcing members and having said ends rolled in the side rims of vsaid intermediate pans. t A n.

5. ,A device of the kind described comprising a series of pans having rolled rims, end straps disposedalong the ends of the pans andprovided With flanges rolled in the rims of said pans, and Areeenforcing members, ex-

the side rims of said intermediate pans, said re-enforcing members having tongues rolled in the end rims of said intermediate pans at points spaced from the cornersor` said pans.

6. A device of the kind described comprising a plurality of pans having rolled rims, end straps disposed along the ends of the pans and provided With flanges rolled in the rims of the pans, and re-enforcing members extending along the entire inner sides of the end pans and having ilanges rolled in the rims of said inner sides, said re-enforcing members having tongues rolled in the end rims of said end pans at points spaced from the corners of said end pans.

7 A device of the kind described comprising a plurality of pans having rolled rims, 1

end straps disposed along the ends of the pans and provided with ianges rolled in the rims of said pans, re-enforcing members eX- tending along entire side edges of saidpans and provided With flanges rolled in the rims of said side edges, said re-enforcing members having notches therein, and said members i having their ends disposed in said notches and having said ends rolled in the rims ofV said pans. v
